It's also a good time to be a security expert then.

It is indeed a "history overview". Kahn repeatedly mentions how he'll make more detailed videos later.

The UK has a visa waiver for transit passengers Last time I checked, the waiver only applied if you were coming to/from a whitelist of countries, which included the US. In the past, I've had to explicitly avoid Heathrow because of its vi

You cannot start a LLC in the US all by yourself This doesn't seem right... Do you have a resource? Or did you really mean "You cannot start a LLC in the US all by yourself AND have it sponsor you"?

Indeed, this is correct (AFAIK). Then again, some people have done it, but I'm not familiar with their particular situations or which loopholes they used :)

My understanding is that you can own a company (or part of one). However, you most definitely _cannot_ do any work for it or take any salary, because your current visa is not sponsored by it. (You can only ever work for your visa sponsor).

I use my palm to press control, instead of my pinky. I know it sounds really weird, but maybe it helps others. Im also interested in seeing if Im the only weirdo :-)

Such a distinction is reserved only for classes with a reputation for being especially difficult and time consuming. I disagree with this. I think the reason why some classes are called by their name are usually because of speed/convenien

"I don't pay an annual membership with ZipCar" You don't? how come? I thought their only pricing structures were either (a) annual fee, or (b) monthly commitment (with variations in fees).

Well, you could argue that some "IQ segregation" already happens, by virtue of having highly selective private schools, advanced placement, etc. I think the students (or parents when they're too young) should have choice though, and be able

I do think that's what the author meant. I see the point, but on the other hand, it seems extremely hard to measure and account for. Unless the difference is abysmal, I don't think it would be right to discriminate based on socioeconomic ba

No. He's saying he won't play it. Nowhere did he mention anything about other people or that the game as a whole is a waste.

People need to understand that MIT and most other top tier schools have insanely amazing need-based financial aid programs. If you really can't afford it, don't worry, you won't have to. Yes, you'll accumulate some debt, but it's more like

$499 is a lot in a developing country.. I'm not against this approach, I'm just adding a different perspective.

I'm pretty sure that these strategies work, but I would just feel "wrong" doing some of them. I can't help thinking of them as trickery and deceit. Perhaps I'd be a crappy negotiator, but I'd much rather take a more honest approach. Maybe I

I think many people are confused and don't quite understand which message they should be replying to.. perhaps it'd be better to have 2 numbers? One for starting an exchange and one for completing them..

Grubwith.us is really appealing to me. I've wished for something like that for some time now. If I could make it, I'd be grubbing with them today.. I also think the concept is very appealing to restaurants as well. Adding value for everyone

Well, they're supposed to know the startup beyond the i-saw-you-on-hacker-news level. Be able to argue why it's a good startup and be able to introduce them... But yeah.. I can see a bunch of Googlers bending the rules and reaching out to u

That is... odd. I'm pretty sure that was an exception, not the rule. You must have caught the customer service rep on a good day :)

"I might reconsider if I had the kind of funding to get into a truly great tech school" I don't know if I misunderstood your point, but financial aid at all great tech schools is beyond amazing. In my opinion, money should not be an issue.

"you are either naive or have you head up your ass or live on big rock candy mountain" I find that to be more offensive than calling someone a pansy.

I must say your posts are incredibly hard to understand... I'm still a bit confused. Anyway, WRT to "slurs", I'm among those who believe that people should focus on the meaning of a person's speech, rather than the words they chose to use.

Indeed, he claims he achieved his results by working out 4 hours in 28 days. Even so, working out 4 hours per week without changing your diet or just working out in a "semi-competent" manner will probably not bring you the results he claims

I agree.. Why did they keep saying "it was a Monday" or whatever? Seemed pretty random/uncalled for. Makes me think of they way things are organized in their brains. I also wonder how they're not very high-performing and successful individu

Well... on his/her defense, the quality of life might still suck for some people, as you aptly pointed out, but that doesn't contradict the original statement..

Pardon my ignorance, but is it ok to use images that you do not own the rights to for this?

Finally... [Do not read further if you want to solve it yourself] 1. The encoded string can be divided into groups of chars, each representing one (decoded) char. These groups occur every 5, 7, 11, and 13 chars. That is, chars 0-4 correspon

Well.. I guess I'm too late, but as long as the solution isn't revealed, I'm still going to play just for the fun of it. I have reason to believe that: "0KH/GC=" encodes "H" "<NP@A'3,M"!" encodes "E" ...
